Law of Attraction

An interesting side of spirituality is the Law of Attraction and how it interacts with our mental focus, faculty and creativity that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom on this earth.

Just like some of the better known and accepted laws of nature and science, this is a force that is active constantly and plays a big part in how our lives are.

That much I believe to be true whether you believe it, know about it or not.

What is the Law of Attraction?

This a question often asked by those that have encountered it for the first time or are trying to figure out what it is and what it means for them.

At first glance, it looks like it must in some way be related to the law of magnetism, since magnets have this property of being able to attract (or repel) depending on which poles are facing each other.

In some ways, that's not too far from it. However, there's a few things you need to understand before you'll really get it.

Everything is Energy

While it can be hard to get your head around, science has shown that literally everything that exists is "energy."

What we see and can touch may look and feel quite solid to us. However, a rock, a glass of water or even a living, breathing human being is the manifestation of an energy field that has coalesced into a form that we can detect with our senses.

Matter is a field of energy and everything we can physically sense is matter. Energy extends far beyond what we can physically sense, at least with the sense organs that we possess.

Fortunately, we have sensitive scientific devices that can measure energy fields that exist beyond our capability to sense. So we know about radio waves, sound waves and even light waves that are outside the detection parameters of our eyes.

It goes even further than that.

Thoughts are also energy fields as are human emotions (these can also be measured using special instruments). There is doubtless much, much more that we are currently unaware of, or suspect but cannot yet measure with our instruments.

Thoughts are Things

Now the tough part is out of the way, we should be able to see that as everything is made of energy, some of this will start to make sense.

Like magnets, energy fields will either attract or repel each other, depending on their frequency.

Unlike magnets, where like poles repel, like energy fields will attract each other (while unlike fields will repel or simply not be attracted to one another). It's all down to their frequencies and whether they are a match or not.

Since thoughts and emotions are energy fields that we can control to a certain extent, we can generate appropriate frequencies of vibration to match those of things we want to attract to us.

There is, however, a catch.

The Catch

You don't attract what you want. You attract what you feel!

A lot of people that were introduced to the Law of Attraction by Rhonda Byrne's book (and subsequent documentary-style movie) "The Secret" found they could not manifest their desires using the information provided. The reason was they were trying to manifest with their thoughts alone - and not combining thought with emotion (feeling).

I quite understand their dilemma. It can be quite difficult to maintain sustained focus on two fronts (though plus feeling) for most people unless you've had lots of practice doing so. For many, that one major hurdle was enough to cause them to believe the whole thing was hogwash or some kind of scam.

Far from it. The Law is very real but also very precise in the way it works.

The Rewards

It does take lots of practice through meditation and mental discipline to merge though with feeling to the extent where you can attract all the circumstances needed for a desire to manifest in physical form. For those prepared to work at it, the rewards are potentially limitless.

As long as you are aware that you will attract to you what you predominantly thing (and feel) about most of the time, you can make magic happen in your life.

By the same token, by not being aware of it and allowing your thoughts and their accompanying emotions to be ruled by outside influences (the media, gossip, etc), you could be stuck in a life of lack and limitation being hounded by bad luck without ever knowing why.

Make sure you take control of your thoughts and manifest what you want, instead of allowing outside influences to maintain control of what you think and feel. Knowing this about the Law of Attraction is a powerful tool in building the life you want rather than having it built for you by someone else.
